the papers are full of the queen’s 90birthday today.

and i was looking at the adverts for commemorative plates to mark the occasion and thought they are rather nice looking and it reminded me of the plates i have found in the recycling bins and charity shops over the years.

apart from being practical, as the BT advert starring maureen lipman acknowledge by having her character say’ everyone needs plates’,( so true); they are quite pretty to look at as well.

it’s really nice to have someone reach 90 years , though this one is a really special 90 yr old birthday. its not everyday u have a monarch live so long, nor be on the throne for so long. it would be nice to know what she did, or did not do, to be able to live so long and in good health.

too often we read of celebrities dying in their 60s, there seem to be a lot of them this year, or maybe it is just my friend’s( and mine) biased impression haha. we were chatting and he did point out there have been rather a lot of notices of deaths of pop stars,etc all well known by us as they have been prominent during our growing up years.nothing makes u feel old than hearing of the death of someone who was famous during your growing up years.

sharing the paper today with the queen was the death of victoria wood at the young age of 62.
